"There will be a confrontation between the far right and the Muslim world."

Mr Calvar's comments have come as the former MI6 boss Richard Dearlove
also said that Europe faced a "populist uprising" if Governments do not
take control of the migrant crisis. Security experts in Germany have also warned Chancellor Angela Merkel
that the middle class was becoming increasingly radicalized because of
her open borders migrant policy.

*****************************

Patrick Calvar, chief of the Directorate General of Internal
Security, told members of the French parliamentary commission: "We are
on the brink of civil war."

He said that the situation in France
is on such a knife edge that it could just take one more major Islamist
terror attack to lead to a huge right-wing backlash.

Speaking to the leading French newspaper, Le Figaro, Mr Calvar said: "This confrontation I think it will take place.

Referring to the victim of the Baton Rouge shooting, Obama added that,
“even those who dislike the phrase ‘Black Lives Matter,’ surely we
should be able to hear the pain of Alton Sterling’s family.” (The pain, asshole, you mean for this punk who had been arrested 8 times?)

Prominent Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson said Wednesday
he is attending a meeting with President Obama designed to help mend
frayed ties between law enforcement and the communities they serve.

“We
are at the @WhiteHouse right now for a 3-hour convening w/ President
Obama re: the recent events in #BatonRouge & across the country,”
Mckesson tweeted Wednesday.

Mckesson
wrote he will be joined by fellow activist Brittany Packnett and
Minneapolis-based Black Lives Matter leader Mica Grimm.

UNITED STATES POLICY ON PRE- AND POST-STRIKE MEASURES TO ADDRESS
CIVILIAN CASUALTIES IN U.S. OPERATIONS INVOLVING THE USE OF FORCE

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the
laws of the United States of America, I hereby direct as follows:

Section 1. Purpose. United States policy on civilian casualties
resulting from U.S. operations involving the use of force in armed
conflict or in the exercise of the Nation's inherent right of
self-defense is based on our national interests, our values, and our
legal obligations. As a Nation, we are steadfastly committed to
complying with our obligations under the law of armed conflict,
including those that address the protection of civilians, such as the
fundamental principles of necessity, humanity, distinction, and
proportionality.

You think I’m exaggerating with that headline? I wish I were. Justice
Scalia and Justice Ginsburg were friends, we were told. I bet Justice
Scalia believed it. But this New York Times interview suggests . . . something different:

One of the 4-4 ties, Friedrichs v. California Teachers
Association, averted what would have been a severe blow to public unions
had Justice Scalia participated. “This court couldn’t have done better
than it did,” Justice Ginsburg said of the deadlock. When the case was
argued in January, the majority seemed prepared to overrule a 1977
precedent that allowed public unions to charge nonmembers fees to pay
for collective bargaining.

A second deadlock, in United States v. Texas, left in place a
nationwide injunction blocking Mr. Obama’s plan to spare more than four
million unauthorized immigrants from deportation and allow them to work.
That was unfortunate, Justice Ginsburg said, but it could have been worse.

“Think what would have happened had Justice Scalia remained with us,” she said.
Instead of a single sentence announcing the tie, she suggested, a
five-justice majority would have issued a precedent-setting decision
dealing a lasting setback to Mr. Obama and the immigrants he had tried
to protect.

Being as I am a curmudgeon, and delight in human folly and thoughts
of huge asteroids, tsunamis, incurable plagues, continent-shattering
volcanoes, and the Hillary administration, I follow the advance of
robots with hope. They may finally end civilization as we know it.
Currently they spread like kudzu. Herewith a few notes from my
favorite technical publication, the Drudge Report. It may convince you
that the robots are upon us like ants on a sandwich.

Even as it launches waves of terrorist attacks around the globe, the
Islamic State is quietly preparing its followers for the eventual
collapse of the caliphate it proclaimed with great fanfare two years
ago.

In public messages and in recent actions in Syria, the
group’s leaders are acknowledging the terrorist organization’s declining
fortunes on the battlefield while bracing for the possibility that its
remaining strongholds could fall.

At the same time, the group is
vowing to press on with its recent campaign of violence, even if the
terrorists themselves are driven underground. U.S. counterterrorism
experts believe the mass-­casualty attacks in Istanbul and Baghdad in the past month were largely a response to military reversals in Iraq and Syria.

Police officers spotted the butt of a
handgun in Alton Sterling’s front pocket and saw him reach for the
weapon before opening fire, according to a Baton Rouge Police Department
search warrant filed Monday that offers the first police account of the
events leading up to Sterling’s fatal shooting.

Two officers,
since identified as Blane Salamoni and Howie Lake II, arrived at the
Triple S Food Mart on North Foster Drive about 12:30 a.m. July 5 after a
911 caller said a person matching Sterling’s description “threatened
someone with a gun standing outside” the convenience store, according to
the affidavit submitted as part of a search warrant for the
surveillance video equipment from the store.

Sterling, 37, refused
orders from the two officers to place his hands on the hood of a car as
they approached him outside the store, where Sterling regularly sold
CDs and DVDs, according to the warrant.

The officers used stun guns on Sterling and “were attempting to
subdue the subject” when they “observed the butt of a gun in
(Sterling)’s front pants pocket,” the affidavit says.

When
Sterling “attempted to reach for the gun from his pocket, the officers
fired their police-issued duty weapon at the subject to stop the
threat,” the affidavit says. “The subject was shot multiple times and
did not survive his injuries.”

Via John "This is the sort of thing racist Democrats SHOULD talk about, but can't.......
Why talk about a REAL problem that exists for many thousands each year (but makes your policies look bad) when you can pretty much INVENT a problem that barely exists and only for a handful of people but makes your policies look good. Don't be an idiot; all this racial strife is drummed up for political purposes in this election year. Black voters need to be motivated to vote for someone they don't like or want: Hillary. Will you let them get away with it?"

Three Virginia men were wounded by a hail of gunfire in a shooting
recorded on Facebook Live video, police said on Wednesday, another
example of the phenomenon of violence being streamed online.
The men were shot shortly after 6 p.m. on Tuesday in Norfolk, about
150 miles (240 km) south of Washington, police said in a statement. The
three, two of them 27 and one 29, were taken to a hospital. One is in
critical condition.

In 1855 Putnam’s Monthly carried an article by the Reverend
Thomas Wentworth Higginson describing an African village. The
vil­lagers, according to Higginson, were “active, commercial geniuses,”
who enjoyed “a remarkable language, and an even more remarkable
recollection of proverbs.” In fact, they resembled New Englanders. They
were mechanically inventive and commercially fruitful. Their advanced
culture was described by Higginson in glowing terms.

Unfortunately
nobody—then or later—has ever been able to locate that village.

Sir Richard Burton did, however, locate Agboney, the capital of
Dahomey in West Africa, in 1863.

Burton described an execution shed
where sacrificial victims were sedated on stools, tied to poles, and fed
four times a day. They wore long white nightcaps, calico shirts and
shorts. Burton watched as these individuals were placed in wicker
baskets and hurled to their deaths off a high cliff. After that, various
unpleasant mutilations were committed on their cadavers.

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke has become the voice of
law-abiding conservatives across the country. He appeared on Fox News’ Fox and Friends
Friday morning to add some context to the recent events that have
unfolded in our country. Needless to say, Clarke is not happy with the
mass of liberals in America, and he lays particular blame at the feet of
President Obama.

What can you say? This is horrible. Beyond belief for the American law enforcement community.

There can be no dispute that Barack Obama
was forced to wade through unprecedented bigotry in his speedy ascent
to the most powerful perch in the world. His predecessor, George W.
Bush, called it the “soft bigotry of low expectations.”

A street hustler with sterling academic bona fides — which are always suspect — Mr. Obama
had never accomplished a single thing as a politician when he decided
to run for president. In his 2008 campaign, he was most admired for not
voting to invade Iraq — a vote that took place years before he joined
the U.S. Senate.

Yet not even one year into his presidency, and while directing two hot wars, Mr. Obama
was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize “for his extraordinary efforts to
strengthen international diplomacy between peoples.” He was heralded in
particular for his unparalleled success in the Muslim world.

Indeed, the soft bigotry of low expectations exists nowhere so
virulently as in the whitest confines of Nordic lands and elite American
academia.

The insultingly low bar set for President Obama, however, gave even those American voters who could not support his candidacy or policies some glimmer of hope.

Did Donald Trump really just surge past Hillary Clinton in two of the election's most important battlegrounds?

New swing-state polls released Wednesday
by Quinnipiac University show Trump leading Clinton in Florida and
Pennsylvania — and tied in the critical battleground state of Ohio. In
three of the states that matter most in November, the surveys point to a
race much closer than the national polls, which have Clinton pegged to a
significant, mid-single-digit advantage over Trump, suggest.

The
race is so close that it's within the margin of error in each of the
three states. Trump leads by three points in Florida — the closest state
in the 2012 election — 42 percent to 39 percent. In Ohio, the race is
tied, 41 percent to 41 percent. And in Pennsylvania — which hasn't voted
for a Republican presidential nominee since 1988 — Trump leads, 43
percent to 41 percent.

DeSoto police have identified the suspect in an aggravated robbery at a Waffle House last week.
About
2:30 a.m. Thursday, police were called to the Waffle House in the 1500
block of North Beckley Avenue, where they found a man shot in the
parking lot.

Customers told police that the man had come into the
restaurant, armed with an AK-47, and robbed numerous people as well as
the business.

One customer, who was legally carrying a concealed
handgun, followed the robber into the parking lot because he was afraid
for the safety of his wife, who was on her way to the Waffle House.

American pluralism was not an ideal with which people
started but an accommodation to which they were eventually driven by the
destructive toll of mutual intolerance in a country too large and
diverse for effective dominance by any one segment of the population.
The rich economic opportunities of the country also provided alternative
outlets for energies, made fighting over the division of existing
material things less important than the expansion of output for all, and
rewarded cooperative efforts so well as to make it profitable to
overlook many differences.

Racial, ethnic and religious differences can be overlooked as long as
there are rich economic opportunities, but absent this expansion of
output for all, pluralism collapses and explodes into mutual resentment,
finger pointing and violence, and we’re only at the beginning of this
hell.

Those on the lowest rungs have a near monopoly on street crimes (as
opposed to boardroom heists). Perennially at the economic bottom, blacks
crowd American prisons. The right attribute this to the natural
outcomes of inequality between races. The left blame it on racism.

The
code states federal judges should not “publicly endorse or oppose a
candidate for public office.” Although Supreme Court justices are not
bound by the code, Chief Justice John G. Roberts has said the court
adheres to it.

Donald Trump responded to Ginsberg’s unethical
comments by sending out one of his scathing tweets. He questioned her
mental fitness and demanded she resign.

So now Bernie Sanders shows his true colors by endorsing Hillary. All
the stories about Bernie's so-called integrity and standing on his
socialist principles have just been proven the lies that anybody with
any common sense always knew they were.

This just goes to show that like all
godless communists Bernie has a price. Besides a check with an obscene
number of zeros, written to an untraceable offshore bank account, I have
no doubt that Hillary maneuvered to remove him from the the DC
political scene by promising the Ambassador's post in Havana where he
can commiserate his final years away with Fidel, Raoul and whatever
other despicable exiles and scofflaws the Castro brothers are giving
seaside condos while the rest of the populatuon plots how to build boats
to take them to Florida.

The only question that remains is how many of his dedicated if naïve
supporters will defect to Trump in November and how many will simply
just stay home?

That Hillary is just as crooked and
the system is just as rigged as Trump says it is gets more apparent evey
day. The choice is between acceleration into the abyss of corruption,
lies, fascism and war or a leap into the unknown.

Remembrance

To die for one’s country is not only an act of bravery, it is THE act of bravery. For soldiers, it is just an extension of their military career, a part of their duty. As leaders have asked their soldiers to sacrifice themselves for the good of the society, it is only right for leaders to go through the same motion. They should practice what they have preached.

As war is seen as a noble act, tu sat serves as redemption in case of defeat. It is also a way to tell the enemy: “You might have won the battle/war but you don’t deserve to win because you don’t have the chinh nghia (just cause).” And it is not only just cause: it is the moral belief that the cause they are fighting for deserves their total sacrifice.

==============================My sixth great grandfather, his wife, and five of his six children were killed in battle with the Tuscarora Indians at Core Creek, NC.

The Seven Blackbirds

==============================My third great grandfather was an Ensign in the Revolutionary War, and saved his unit's flag after being wounded at the Battle of Brandywine. He was also at Kingston (Kinston), Wilmington, Charleston, Two Sisters and Augusta. He was at the defeat at Brier Creek and also Bee Creek.

Requiem Aeternam -
Eternal Rest Grant unto Them
==============================
My second great grandfather was killed in action on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.

He was a drummer boy in the WBTS, survived the War only to die a few years later. He was caught in an ice storm on his way home, but instead of seeking shelter, continued on his horse until the end. His clothes had to be cut off and he died a few days later.
